More than 200 speakers and participants from all across the globe met in Budapest in October for the 2016 edition of CEPOL’s Research and Science Conference to hear about the latest research findings and new perspectives for law enforcement training and education. Contributions were made by high-level law enforcement professionals - including INTERPOL Secretary General and EUROPOL Director - as well as by various distinguished scholars, scientists and researchers. As we believe that law enforcement is a service for and on behalf of citizens, we continue to publish the outcomes of the CEPOL Research and Science Conferences to facilitate science-based progress in this field of public concern.
In this page you will find the presentation files from contributions on the main track and the open session programme, where the authors agreed for publication. Additional presentation files are available on e-Net, which requires registration and approval by the CEPOL National Units.
The organisers would like to thank all presenters for their most valuable input and commitment to share their knowledge and research outcomes.
A collection of 30 full-text contributions from this conference have been published as Special Conference Edition Nr. 3 of the European Police Science and Research Bulletin.

The world of the early 21st century is truly a globalised world, due to world-spanning transport, communication and travel: goods, ideas and cultures are now shared more widely than ever before in human history. Cross-border financial investment and economic interdependence has become the normality, as well as continuous migration. Terrorism, cybercrime, financial fraud, organised criminal networks smuggling illicit drugs, firearms or people across international and global borders – there is an undeniable darker side to globalisation.
Globalisation of crime – or simply global crime – has been high on the agenda of governments, law enforcement institutions and academic scholarship for more than a decade. While there is an extensive body of analytic literature and practical guidance, less attention has been paid to the aspect of training and education of law enforcement staff and leaders in view of the process of globalisation and the global dimension of criminal acts.
The 2016 CEPOL European Police Research and Science Conference put the focus on global trends in law enforcement training and education raising key questions under the following perspectives:
